' Application filed June 4', 1920. SerialfNo. 386,450. I

To aZZ whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, SAMUEL JASGUR, a

citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New Yorkycounty ofBronx, borough of Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Garment-Fasteners, of which the v 'ingtogether the two sides 'ofthe frontal a pair of trousers.

opening of trousers at the waist band, where the strain upon thefastener is considerable.

In order to meet the requirements of a fastener of this character, itmust be cheap, simple in construction, readily and firmly attached tothe fabric, must not have a tendency to tear the fabric and must be carpable of ease of operation in coupling and uncoupling.

There are two general groups of such fasteners, those which are sewed tothe fabric and those having extended projections capable of passagethrough the fabric and then turned over to prevent their withdrawal fromthe fabric.

Sewed fasteners are obj ectionable as they soon become loosened from thefabric and those fasteners which are" attached to the fabric by means ofordinary tongues, or projections, tear the fabric under strain andbecome loosened therefrom.

The device of my invention overcomes all of these objectionable featuresand presents all of the advantages mentioned above.

In the accompanying drawings, repre: senting one form of thedeVice-ofmy'invene tion, similar parts are designated by similarnumerals. I

Figure 1 is an elevation of one form of my device as applied to theupper portion of Fig. 2 is'a section through the line 2--2 Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section through the line 3-3 of Fig. 4 is a development ofthe device shown'in Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a view of Fig. 4 in the direction ofthearrow 5, 1

The particular form of my device, illus trated in the accompanyingdrawings, com- 3 diameter of the button 24.

prisesa sheet, onblank, of flexible material, as metal, composed of thetwo integral members 1O 11 capable of being foldedalong the line A-A, inorder that the two members 10 and 11 maybe superimposed one above theother.

The member 10 has the approximately circular opening 12 extended intothe elongated opening 13, andthe member .11 has theapproximatelycircular opening 14 extended into the'elongated opening 15, the openingsin the members 10 and 11 being so situated with respect to each otherthat they will be in alinement When-the device is folded along the lineAA.

The member 10 has the recesses, 16, 17 and 18 into which the tongues 19,20 and 21 of the member 11 may be respectively inserted I when themembers 10' and 11 are in superimposed positon, the tongues beingcapable of being folded over the'member 10, when thus inserted, andacting as aloe king means.

The member 10 has an extended flange 22 aroundthe openings 12, 13,corresponding to the shape thereof, the outer edge of which practicallyabuts upon the inner surface of the member 11, when the members'lO and11 are in parallel positions with respect to each other.

The application of my device to fabrics and, especially, as a closing.means for the frontal opening of trousers. is as follows The device,with the tongues 19, 20 and 21 in a practically right angledposition'with respect to the plane of the member 11,

fabric 23 and parting through the recesses l 1'6, 17 and 18. The threetongues 19, 20' and 2]. are then bent over thus locking together the twomembers 10 and 11."

The flange '22 ofthe member 10 thus The button 24:, fixedly attached tothe fabric 25, may be inserted through the openings 12 and 14 andtheopening in the fabric 25 and will be drawn into theopenings 13 and15, the widths of whichare less than the abuts upon the member 11,forming abutton hole with metallic sides and edges.

It is to be noted thatthe folded endsof scope of'my invention as Iprefer to use the means described for fastening my device to the fabric,but any other suitable means may be employed.

- I donot limit myself to the particular size, shape, number andarrangement or parts as; shown and described, all of which maybe Variedwithout. going beyond the shown, described and claimed.

1. In a fabric fastening device, in combination, a foldable blank, aplurality of openings within the blank capable of being placed inalinement with eachother when the blank is folded and a plurality oftongues carried by the blank capable of being extendedbeyond and folded:over the folded blank.

2; In a fabric fastening devicegin com bination, a foldable blank, apluralit of openings within the blank capable of being; placed inalinement with each other When, the blank is folded, a flangesurrounding one opening capable of practical abutment upon the foldedblank and'a plurality of tongues carried by the blank capable of beingextended beyond and folded over the folded blank.

8. In a fabric fastening device, in combination, a foldable blank, aplurality of openings within the blank capable of being placed inalinement with each other when the blank is folded, a plurality-ofrecesses in one portion of the blank and a plurality of tongues in theother portion ofthe blank capable of being extended through the recessesand folded over the first portion of the folded blank.

4:. In a fabric fastening device, in combination, a foldable blank, aplurality of openings within the blank capable of being placed inalinenient with each other when the blank is folded, a flangesurrounding one opening capable of practical abutment upon the foldedblank, a plurality of recesses inone portion of the blank and a plurality of'tongues in the other portion ofthe blank capable of beingextended through the recesses and folded over the first portion ofthefolded blank.
